While bet hedging is common in biological systems at the organism level, our results show its use at the organelle and cellular level.The incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been increasing among children and adolescents, which environmental factors including gut microbiota play an important role. However, the underlying mechanisms are yet to be determined. Here, we show that patients with newly diagnosed T1D displayed not only a distinct profile of gut microbiota associated with decreased short-chain fatty acid (SCFAs) production, but also an altered IgA-mediated immunity compared with healthy control subjects. Using germ free (GF) non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, we demonstrate that gut microbiota from patients with T1D promoted different IgA-mediated immune responses compared with healthy control gut microbiota. Treatment with the SCFA, acetate, reduced gut bacteria-induced IgA response accompanied by decreased severity of insulitis in NOD mice. Our study provides new insights into the functional effects of gut microbiota on inducing IgA immune response in T1D, suggesting that SCFAs might be potential therapeutic agents in T1D prevention and/or treatment.Advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) is often accompanied by development of liver metastases (LMs) and skeletal muscle (SkM) wasting, i.e. cachexia. Despite plaguing the majority of CRC patients, cachexia remains unresolved. By using mice subcutaneously (C26) or intrasplenically injected with C26 tumor cells to mimic hepatic dissemination of cancer cells (mC26), here we aimed to further characterize functional, molecular and metabolic effects on SkM and examine whether LMs exacerbate CRC-induced cachexia. C26-derived LMs were associated with progressive loss of body weight, as well as with s
